Avalanche Software is an American video game developer based in Salt Lake City. It was founded in October 1995 by four programmers formerly of Sculptured Software, including John Blackburn, who serves as chief executive officer. The studio was acquired by the games arm of The Walt Disney Company in May 2005, and spent the next ten years developing Disney-related titles, including the toys-to-life game Disney Infinity (2013). In May 2016, due to a declining toys-to-life games market, Disney decided to close the games arm, including Avalanche Software. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment acquired the studio and re-opened it in January 2017.

History[edit]

Avalanche Software founded by four programmers formerly of Sculptured Software, including John Blackburn.[1][2] After Sculptured Software had been acquired by Acclaim Entertainment, the four had been in contact with another former Sculptured Software staffer who left the year prior for Saffire. The four were interested in joining Saffire, which was seeking programmers for an upcoming project, but did not want to commute to the company's offices in Pleasant Grove. Instead, Saffire's owner convinced them to start their own company.[3] Subsequently, Blackburn and his acquaintances established Avalanache Software in October 1995, with Blackburn becoming the company's president.[1]

On April 19, 2005, Buena Vista Games (later called Disney Interactive Studios), the video game publishing arm of The Walt Disney Company, announced that it had acquired Avalanche Software to undisclosed terms.[4] Buena Vista Games established a sister studio to Avalanche Software, Fall Line Studio, in November 2006.[5] The studio was merged into Avalanche Software in January 2009.[6] In January 2013, Avalanche Software unveiled the toys-to-life cross-platform game Disney Infinity.[7] On May 10, 2016, due to a lack of growth in the toys-to-life market and increasing development costs, Disney discontinued Disney Infinity and closed down Disney Interactive Studios, including Avalanche Software.[8] Many former Avalanche Software workers were hired by castAR to create a new studio in Salt Lake City.[9] On January 24, 2017, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced that it had acquired and re-opened the studio, with Blackburn returning as its chief executive officer. The studio's first title under the new ownership was Cars 3: Driven to Win.[10] It is set to release its first Disney-independent title after the acquisition, Hogwarts Legacy, in 2021, which was announced at the PlayStation 5 event in September 2020. It will be released for Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.[11]
